‘Survival Is Hard’: India’s Millions Of Unemployed Youth & The National Crisis Facing Modi 3.0
Six months after a 38-year-old woman from Haryana was arrested on terror charges for a security breach in Parliament that was meant to draw attention to the unemployment crisis in India, we found out more about her struggle to find a job despite a postgraduate education and about other young people with college degrees who are looking for unskilled work or desperately trying to leave the country by any means possible. The ILO says 103.4 million, or one in every three youths, is not in education, employment, or training. Their distress and misery may have cost the BJP a majority in the recently concluded general election. Experts suggested the government should consider transparency in admitting the extent of the problem, creating jobs locally, and giving an Opposition “apprenticeship” scheme a try.
